Tuesday’s budget to include grocery rebate for lower income Canadians: source
The federal budget, set for Tuesday, will include a grocery rebate measure aimed at lower income Canadians to help address the affordability crisis, particularly to mitigate the rising cost of food, CBC News has learned.
A senior government official familiar with the budget, but not authorized to speak publicly before the budget is rolled out, told CBC News that the overall cost of the measure is “north of $2 billion” and will benefit 11 million households. It will be facilitated through the GST credit, aimed at lower income families.
When your citizens can no longer afford basic groceries because they’ve been impoverished by your bad policies you’ve forfeited the right to govern.
